Ah, then have no fear, basically everyone other than a minute number of people who played the Alpha have been shocked at how good Destiny is, and that's with a microscopic taste of it compared to the scale of the final game.

It's just an MMOFPS, repetitive quests and boring dialogue/story. Nothing special.

The Gaf thread (a hard bunch to please to be sure) is chock full of people that LOVE it, with many of them going from 3/10, 4/10 before the alpha, to 8/10, 9/10, 10/10 after the Alpha, and they think it's VERY special. The preorder numbers are through the roof.

So should I believe you, or believe the sales and people that have played and loved it?

I don't know, believe who you want. I played it as well. Who the hell cares what GAF thinks anyways? They're as prone to stupid hyperbolic hype as anyone, if not more so. These are the people that proclaim The Last of Us the greatest game ever made, etc.
